Pasta Salad

When I lived in Orange County I would head down to Newport Beach all the time. There was a pizza/pasta place that we used to eat at when we were down there. My younger sister decided that she was going to recreate the pasta dish that we would always order for a family event quite a few years ago. Now that pasta dish is a staple in our family gatherings so it happened to fit perfectly for my son's 4th birthday party theme by changing the pasta noodles to the wheels (his birthday theme was a BMX bike party).

This pasta is so simple yet so yummie!  

Pasta Salad
1 box of pasta cooked
1 can of olives chopped
2 tomatoes chopped
1 onion chopped
pepperoncinis (depends on how much flavor you want)
a few splashes of pepperoncini juice
ranch dressing (I prefer Hidden Valley)
italian dressing (I prefer Wish Bone or Newman's)

Cook the pasta according to directions. Cool before preparing the rest of the dish. Add 1 can of chopped olives. Dice 2 medium size tomatoes. Chop 1 onion. 1 jar of sliced pepperoncinis and drop a few splashes of the juice in to the bowl. Mix it all together. Then add the ranch and italian dressing to your liking. Refrigerate overnight for best results. Just before serving add a little more ranch and italian dressing. Serve cold.
